    Triumph Over Trials

    Contributed by Victor Nazareth on Mar 24, 2008
    based on 20 ratings
     | 5,573 views

    Adversity, Trials, Problems, Giants, Goliaths are a constant part of every saint’s life. We need to have a fresh perspective on these.

    Introduction: Oswald Chambers writes, "A saint’s life is in the hands of God as a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see; He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says, "I cannot stand any more." But God does not heed; He goes on ...read more

    Is there anything new under the Sun? Has anything changed? I Think NOT…

    Ecc 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Is there anything new ...read more

    Naaman's Healing

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 3, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,728 views

    Naaman’s pride almost prevents a healing, but are we that different?

    2 Kings 5 Most of us have the trappings of power and privilege: we live in one of the wealthiest countries with one of the highest standards of living. We live in an age our grandparents could never have dreamed of. We are not unlike Naaman in the story in 2 Kings 5. But he had to learn an ...read more

    Some of you have a major problem you are dealing with! Some of you may have more than one problem! You are wondering how you got into this situation, and all you can see is a long dark tunnel and you don’t even see a ray of light. You keep asking yourself, “What am I going to ...read more

    Nit-Picker Or Disciple? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021
     | 1,396 views

    It’s a constant battle to make prayer not just external, but an action of listening to God that can change our hearts and behaviors.

    Tuesday of 21st week in Course Today we have one of the great analogies of Biblical literature–only St. Matthew has it–you strain out the gnat and swallow the camel. Jesus says “Oy! You nitpick the little stuff and neglect the critical duties.” The people described by the Hebrew word ...read more

The Lord entered into a boat and sat and taught, whilst the crowds stood on the seashore. The boat served as a pulpit, and the ...read more

    Don’t Limit Wisdom To Yourself

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 23, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,341 views

    Do not keep wisdom to yourself. If God can retrieve wisdom from the wise, he can also refuse to diffuse it to others. When you receive the secrets of God, they must be communicated to others. Do not keep them to yourself.

    DON’T LIMIT WISDOM TO YOURSELF "Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? " (Job 15:8) Do not keep wisdom to yourself. Do you think there is no wisdom besides yours? Have you got and engrossed all knowledge from others and ...read more

     | 901 views

    Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery language, flattery words, too-good-to-be-true praises, loud applauses and claps! It can be fake, exaggeration and altogether trash.

    Honey sweet words! And she (Delilah)said to him, “How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me where your great strength lies.” Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,923 views

    We need to stop and remind ourselves of who we are: Believers in Jesus who are serving him in a marathon, not a sprint, toward his kingdom. Therefore, let us never forget, or even minimize, who were are or what our “upward call” is.

    Paul the apostle must have been a sports fan. I say that because he uses a lot of terminology in the scriptures related to sports. He says – We don't wrestle with just flesh and blood. That's a wrestling illustration. He says – We fight the good fight. That's a boxing illustration. But ...read more
